The other explanation is: I'm a big bear of a guy, and I want to one day have my own range of gourmet sausage spices, therefore: BearSpice. :)

Now just remember, Chuckwagon, you asked for it.....

How I came by my handle? OK, to spare you the agony of the whole shaggy dog, basically I was talked by my flatmates into entering the "Miss Fair Day" contest at the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras in 1998. I Won. :shock: Yes, it surprised me too. The Spice Girls were very prominent at the time, and ...

Well... even though it's all East Coast, we still have Sydney, then Mid North Coast, then North Coast, then Upper Middle Northern-ish Coast, then QLD, where they call their beer XXXX (pronounced Four-Ex) because they can't spell BEER. Isn't that right, Crustyo44? :razz:

Chuckwagon , just another quick question: I don't have the smoking equipment yet, so will be cooking the 'polecats' in hot water. - I need to know how long (roughly) would it take for the sausages to get to 152°F in the hot water? I am about to try this recipe and want to know how long to leave the...

Could I ask a question please? I need to know how long (roughly) did it take for the sausages to get to 152°F in the hot water? I am about to try this recipe and want to know how long to leave them before testing the internal temp. (reason being, I need the thermometer to monitor the water temperatu...

Carpster, more likely to be pickled wallaby or wombat round these parts ;)
Chuckwagon, will do mate, and you have my promise the appropriate libation will be one of our Aussie brews, but not Fosters - no-one here actually drinks the stuff.

OK, I would like to smoke some stuff, so looks like I might use some #1 to be sure. The version I've found over here is 11% http://www.cqbutcherssupplies.com.au/cures/kwikurit That means I should be able to use about half the listed quantity of kwikurit, compared to Cure #1 (6.5%). Ah, I just notice...

Now here`s a recipe that`s REALLY caught my eye. I do a bit of canning and preserving, and think these sound just the right thing to go with a nice beer or three. I`ll probably put it up in pints, and process one of them in the pressure canner, just to see how it goes. If it doesn`t bugger the textu...

Just to check - 45℉ is about 7℃. How long in total do you hang it for - just the five days, or longer? I'm glad we're coming into winter, because I want to make some of this, but the days are a little hot at the moment, and my fridge would be a little cold. I guess that's where the modif...

Sorry to activate an old thread, but I'm new and would like to try this recipe - it sounds very good. My question is about the Ground Mustard. Does this mean ground mustard seeds (which I can do myself at home) or the dry mustard powder like Keens? I'm also leaving out anything chemical-sounding. Es...
